OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is
excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being used
again.
• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill
the L.P. tank.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet
whenever the cylinder is not in use.
Only install the type of dust cap on the
cylinder valve outlet that is provided
with the cylinder valve. Other types of
caps or plugs may result in leakage of
propane.
PRE-OPERATION LEAK TESTING
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas
tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifting during
shipment, installation or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically
check the whole system for leaks and immediately check the system if the smell of gas is
detected.
1.
Do not smoke while leak testing.
2. Extinguish all open flames.
3. Never leak test with an open flame.
4. Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.
5. Turn off the burner control knobs.
6. Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder counterclockwise two (2) rotations to open.
7. Apply the soap solution to connections of the fuel supply assembly. If no soap bubbles
appear, there is no gas leak. If bubbles form at the connections, a leak is detected. If a leak is
detected, immediately turn off the gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and
repeat steps 1-3.
8. Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.
9. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release the pressure in the hose, then turn
the control knobs back off.
10. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.
Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is
connected to the regulator. Have a qualified service technician leak test the grill any time a part
of the gas system is replaced.
Also it is recommended to perform a leak test at least once a year whether or not the L.P. gas
supply cylinder has been disconnected.
WARNING
DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under
or near the grill. Never fill the cylinder beyond
80% full.
If this information is not followed exactly, a fire
causing death or serious injury may occur.
